Striker decision next week

A final decision won't be reached over Crewe Alexandra's on loan striker Lauri Dalla Valle until after the weekend.

"He is a real team player and is good goal poacher" - Steve Davis

The Finnish Under-21 international is currently scheduled to make his farewell appearance for the club against latest opponents Stevenage on Saturday.

Dalla Valle has so far scored five times in eleven appearances, including two in his first two games, since arriving from Fulham at the beginning of November. Davis is though considering seeking an extension to that arrangement.

"He is a real team player and is good goal poacher, he showed that against Carlisle," he told Crewe's official website. "He will improve as he plays more games so we will talk with Fulham about the situation."
